The preparation of various 1-trifluoromethylisoquinolines from α-benzylated tosylmethyl isocyanide derivatives and the commercial Togni reagent using a radical cascade is reported. The starting isocyanides are readily prepared in a modular sequence from commercial tosylmethyl isocyanide via sequential double α-alkylation, and the radical reaction proceeds under mild conditions with high efficiency without any transition-metal catalyst via electron catalysis. This valuable protocol has been successfully applied to the total synthesis of CF 3 -mansouramycin B.
